I thought this was such a cute like book. Probably for kids 2nd through 4th grades. It was a great way to bring learning about history into a fun little adventure. When I went to enter it into good reads I found that this author has LOTS of books that all look like they are meant to help kids learn and develop an interest in history. LOVE books like that. :) (Leaving my parents heading to Joplin to see the tornado damage)

I wouldn't recommend this book, but if you do read it BEWARE!!!!It rhymes every other line and it's a chapter book! I got sick of rhyming things after a while.
